Mevlana week Tours
The great Turkish philosopher and poet Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi will be commemorated on the anniversary of his death with ceremonies that will be held on 01-17 December 2008 in Konya. During the special “Mevlana Week” a series of conferences, meetings, panels and theatrical performances were held to promote various aspects of Mevlana's life. As a result of the philosophies of Mevlana, Haci Bektas-i Veli, Yunus Emre and other spiritual leaders, an atmosphere of peace has provided in Anatolia, the cradle of civilization. Mevlana can be thought of as not only a great mystic, poet and philosopher, but also one who demonstrated great tolerance for people of all faiths.
Every December foreign and Turkish tourists go to Konya to commemorate the death of Mevlana Celaleddin- i Rumi, who died on December 17, 1273. He is better known as the founder of the order of the Whirling Dervishes.
